What cities are within your service area?
I serve cities within a 30 mile radius of Albuquerque including Corrales, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Placitas, Cedar Crest, Tijeras, Edgewood, South Valley, and Los Lunas. (I can often provide service outside this area so feel free to contact me.)
What is the best way to contact you?
The simplest and most efficient is to send me a text message. In fact, we can schedule your appointment directly through text; no hassling with online booking services.
Can you fix sticking keys and minor issues?
Many small fixes can be handled on the spot without any additional charge. My goal is to make your piano the best it can be within about 90 minutes. I never try to upsell to a more premium service. If more extensive repairs ARE needed a quote will be given.
Can you service an old neglected piano?
Most of the time, yes; although they usually take a little more work. But I love bringing these old instruments back to life! In the rare case your piano cannot be tuned I DO NOT charge a service fee just for looking at it.
Do you service pianos for institutions?
I service pianos for organizations such as the New Mexico Philharmonic; however, I prefer servicing residential pianos and getting to know my amazing clients.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards with NO ADDITIONAL FEE. I also accept all mobile payment platforms, i.e., Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, etc.
Do you have a military discount?
As a proud veteran I am pleased to offer a 10% discount to all active duty military.
Do you give piano lessons?
I don't personally but I can recommend a good teacher and have assisted students with tuition and books via my
scholarships.
Must I be present at the time of service?
Not necessarily, as long as I have your permission (and any instructions) to enter. Once service is complete I'll text or email you an invoice which you can pay securely online.
Are you okay with pets?
Of course! I love both cats and dogs and truly enjoy their company while working.
How did you get started? Do you play?
My father was a piano technician and a skilled pianist. I learned the trade from him starting at a very early age. I've been a musician my whole life and have played professionally for many years. Other than piano I also play drums and bass guitar.
What brought you to Albuquerque?
After decades in southern NM a change was needed. I moved here with no clients or leads but have since earned the trust of hundreds of families and teachers who recognize the value of the service I provide.
Red or green?
Don't make me choose!🎄
